for ds - only 2 days at the activity centre, one overnight stay, but ds has never been away from home without us (to be fair he isn't worrying about that as far as I can tell) - it is a PGL thing, so climbing,abseiling etc - all stuff that ds is not very comfortable with as he has balance/coordination probs - he is very unsporty - he hasn;t expressed any qualms here either, so maybe he is quite ok about it and it's just me suddenly worrying.
I really want him to go as he'll get to know the other new yr 7s and he will at least try some new things - he is a trier ! but I don't want him to feel that he absolutely has to do something if he rally feels he can't and I don't want him to be teased for being babyish...
I think that because he does have a go but not always successfully that others are generally kind to him - at least that's been my experience in the past as junior school.
It'll be ok, won't it ? (btw I haven't made a big song and dance about the trip,it's just presented to him as something he's doing!)
